“Brooklyn has been walking Maggie for a week now and Maggie loves Brooklyn! Brooklyn is prompt to respond to requests and easy to communicate with. Maggie will be 14 this year and she requires accommodations and special handling. Brooklyn has demonstrated compassion and understanding with my detailed instructions. She takes care to pay attention to Maggie's energy and gait and provides updates on her activities. Brooklyn is trustworthy and I feel comfortable with giving her access to my home when I'm away. Thank you Brooklyn!”
“Ashlin did a great job walking my dog for a couple of weeks and my dog loved her! Ashlin was able to properly manage/handle my dog who can be reactive on leash to other dogs. I highly recommend Ashlin.”
“Ayla has been walking our dog for a month now and she has been fantastic! She is great at communicating what is going on and responds very quickly. Our dog has been so much happier since she started walking him. She’s exactly what we were looking for.”
“We have a sweet but anxious little rescue dog. He doesn't like anything new or out of the routine, and he doesn't like anyone but his ONE human. David was able to help him feel less insecure, and now he has one one human on the (short) list of humans he can trust. THANKS, David, for helping our Buster feel secure!”
“Raina has done a wonderful job walking our dog. We had a lot of additional details and she can be a bit of a high maintenance pup and Raina took it all in stride. Our pup loves her and her walks!”
“Monica took Angel out twice a day for walks while we were on vacation. Always on time and sent pictures of Angel on the walk. She didn’t have any trouble with Angel. Highly recommend Monica to help with your fur babies!”
“Riley has been such a amazing help while I was recovering from an injury that prevented me from being able to take my dog on a walk. He was very careful of her limitstions of being dog reactive and made me feel comfortable that she was in good hands!”
About: Hi! I have always loved animals, growing up with many cats, dogs, chickens, fish, birds, etc. Right now I have a cat, Luna, who we love dearly! We are not quite ready to fully pause travel and commit full time to a dog at home, so I am looking forward to enjoying some dog time via Rover! I am available all day on weekends, and after 5:15pm on week days. My Sat/Sun availability will vary based on my schedule, but I would love to take walks on my open weekends! I plan to ask pet preferences and communicate with the owner prior to our first walk. I am in tune with what a dog’s mood and what they may be communicating during our walk. I hope they enjoy the walk and my company during our time together.
About: Hey there! My nickname is actually Maks, and I'm glad to meet you. I have taken care of dogs and cats since around 12 years old. I’ve looked after pets of friends and neighbors, and I feel confident working with dogs of all sizes. I am comfortable with more anxious dogs as I have had one myself. I am also very experienced with cats, I have two at home! I know how hard it can be to leave your little ones even just for the day, especially if they lean on the anxious side, but I hope that I can provide a gentle and loving presence for your babies. Finding reliable pet care can be stressful which is why I value transparency and clear communication. I will provide updates at every visit, and I will do my best to answer any questions you have as soon as possible. Your pet's safety and wellbeing is my main priority. Looking forward to talking with you! I am currently a part-time student working on getting into nursing school. I am completely free Monday, Wednesday, Friday and most weekends. I am flexible when it comes to schedules, and I would love to communicate with owners to set something up more long term. I could do daily walks, and I can do daily drop-in visits as well. I don't have space to house dogs at my house currently because I have two cats at home.

Including midday walks, potty breaks, and outside playtime. We're available for boarding on weekends, starting at 5pm on Fridays. Your pup’s safety and comfort are our top priorities! We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and our two friendly, well-trained dogs love having new friends to hang out with. Need a little extra space?

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
